Executive Summary

1.1 Ofcom expects all 3G licensees to meet the requirements for rollout as stated in their licences by the end of 2007.

1.2 It is important that stakeholders understand the technical basis for any measurement of rollout. Ofcom made proposals for the technical approach it would intend to take in its assessment of compliance in a consultation document dated 28 July 2006. This attracted 8 responses. In general these were supportive of Ofcom’s approach, but some valuable suggestions for improvement were also made.

1.3 This document takes these suggestions into account and sets out Ofcom’s conclusions about the right technical approach to be adopted in assessing compliance. It also sets out the timetable for doing so.

1.4 Ofcom received additional comments outside the technical questions asked in the consultation document dated 28 July 2006. Ofcom will be addressing these issues separately.
